The BBC report http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-40735634 on the rise in the number of Anti-Semitic incidents in the UK:
'Reports of anti-Semitic incidents have hit record levels in the first six months of 2017, according to a Jewish charity.
The Community Security Trust (CST) said 767 reports were made to them between January and June - a rise of 30% on the same period last year.'
Of course the BBC show no interest in discussing who might be responsible for the majority of these attacks. Is there a religion, the number of adherents of which is growing in the UK, which teaches anti Jew sentiment?
'It pains me to have to admit this but anti-Semitism isn't just tolerated in some sections of the British Muslim community; it's routine and commonplace. Any Muslims reading this article – if they are honest with themselves – will know instantly what I am referring to. It's our dirty little secret. You could call it the banality of Muslim anti-Semitism.
...
The truth is that the virus of anti-Semitism has infected members of the British Muslim community, both young and old. No, the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict hasn't helped matters. But this goes beyond the Middle East. How else to explain why British Pakistanis are so often the most ardent advocates of anti-Semitic conspiracies, even though there are so few Jews living in Pakistan?
It is sheer hypocrisy for Muslims to complain of Islamophobia in every nook and cranny of British public life, to denounce the newspapers for running Muslim-baiting headlines, and yet ignore the rampant anti-Semitism in our own backyard. We cannot credibly fight Islamophobia while making excuses for Judaeophobia.
...
I only hope and pray that Lord Ahmed's comments will act as a wake-up call to Britain's moderate Muslim majority. The time has come for us to own up to a rather shameful fact: Muslims are not only the victims of racial and religious prejudice but purveyors of it, too.
In 2011 Baroness Warsi, the then Conservative Party chairman, said that Islamophobia has "passed the dinner-table test" in polite British society. I agree with her, but what she omitted to mention, and what we Muslims must now admit, is that anti-Semitism passed the dinner-table test in polite British Muslim society long ago.'
The above is from an honest article written by Mehdi Hasan in the New Statesman in 2013, you can read it in full here - http://www.newstatesman.com/politics/uk/2013/03/sorry-truth-virus-anti-semitism-has-infected-british-muslim-community
Where you won't read or hear such truth is on the institutionally pro Islam BBC.
